Doom1.wad

How to play or start PWADS

You need to identify which IWAD is required to play the mod. The Doom series contains four different IWADs: Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, TNT: Evilution and Plutonia. Most Doom mods are made for Doom 2 but some were made for one of the other games in the series. The other Doom engine games, Heretic, Hexen, Strife and Chex Quest, each have only one relevant IWAD (although registered Strife, along with the map IWAD, also has a voices WAD). You cannot normally run mods with the shareware or demo IWADs.

You need then to identify which port, if any, is required for the mod. While many mods can be run in the original engine, some make use of advanced features or cannot run within the limits of the original exe. See the comparison of Doom source ports for further informations.

Command line

The same command line parameters apply for all Doom engine games and for most ports. Some ports have alternative file loading options, such as Chocolate Doom’s -merge command; consult the port’s documentation if needed. In this example, we load the mod «mymap.wad» with the IWAD doom2.wad in the old source port Boom. All files are in the same directory, which is the current working directory for the command window.

boom.exe -iwad doom2 -file mymap.wad

Selecting the iwad is unecessary if you have only one in the executable’s directory. If the files are not in the same directory, you need to give their paths. For example, here we have separated the engines, IWADs and PWADs in different directories:

C:/Games/Doom/Ports/boom.exe -iwad C:/Games/Doom/doom2.wad -file C:/Games/Doom/Mods/mymap.wad

If you are familiar with command lines, you probably already knew that. Note that the original Doom game does not support the -iwad parameter and will instead choose the first it finds in this list: plutonia.wad, tnt.wad, doom2.wad, doom.wad. To play in the original engine, you will need to place each IWAD in its own directory, with a copy of doom(2).exe.

Sourceports/frontends

Most frontends will have an option for starting a PWAD when you launch the game. For example:

In DOOM Legacy

Start Doom in Single Map mode, and select a PWAD in the «Additional Files» area.

In ZDaemon

Start a local game and select the PWAD from there.

In ZDoom, GZDoom or Skulltag

Drag and drop the PWAD over the ZDoom executable, and it will load it. You can also associate the port with the .wad extension and then use right-click -> Open With, or add a shortcut to it in your SendTo folder and use right->click -> Send To.

There are plenty of other frontends to use, and PWAD loading should be simple to do.

Built-in demosedit

This WAD features four . All require Doom II v1.9 to view them. The demo levels are:

The Inquisitor

Game: Doom IIYear: 2012Port: GZDoomSpecs: MAP01Gameplay Mods: New monsters, new weapons, new itemsAuthor: “Shadowman” idgames | onemandoom 

Inquisitor earned a lot of infamy in its initial release due to some graphic depictions of sexualized, executed women, mainly because the author explicitly linked their inclusion to his opinion on the Pussy Riot imprisonment in 2012. Now that the controversy is over and it’s been somewhat sanitized, here’s Inquisitor, a single map for Doom II that takes place over one giant castle and has a strong Hexen II vibe, which is no mistake as it takes place on a world that’s been undergoing a slow corruption by the Serpent Riders. It’s also really hard because the enemies are pretty lethal and the player feels very fragile, particularly with the early reliance on melee weapons. It’s still got a pretty cool atmosphere and if you can endure the opening and make it to the shotgun, you’ve got a pretty neat ride ahead of you.

Directory[edit]

The directory associates names of lumps with the data that belong to them. It consists of a number of entries, each with a length of 16 bytes. The length of the directory is determined by the number given in the WAD header. The structure of each entry is as follows:

Tools should not assume the lump-order in the WAD to be sorted by their byte offset into the WAD.

«Virtual» lumps (such as F_START) only exist in the directory, having a size of 0. Their offset value therefore is nonsensical (often 0).

It is possible for more than one lump to have the same offset value, as well as having offsets that overlap other lump data.

When a modder imports lumps into a WAD from other files, file extensions are not included. Doom’s executable examines only the name field to determine whether all required entries are present at launch. This means, for example, that the encoding of a music track may not be immediately obvious if the WAD’s intended port supports multiple formats.

The BFG Edition variant of the DOOM.WAD file is inappropriately marked as a PWAD. This will cause some source ports to malfunction or to issue warning messages when using it.

Редактирование

Для Doom доступно множество редакторов уровней . Первоначальная утилита редактирования Doom (DEU) была перенесена на ряд операционных систем , но со временем потеряла значение; многие современные редакторы Doom все еще уходят корнями в DEU и его парадигму редактирования, включая DETH, DeePsea, Linux Doom Editor и Yadex. Другие редакторы уровней включают WadAuthor, Doom Builder (выпущен в январе 2003 г.) и Doom Builder 2 (выпущен в мае 2009 г. как преемник Doom Builder). Некоторые редакторы уровней Doom , такие как Doom Builder и Doom Builder 2, имеют режим 3D-редактирования. На данный момент эти два больше не выпускаются, но выпущен и регулярно обновляется более новый форк, известный как GZDoom Builder .

Со временем был создан ряд других специализированных редакторов Doom для изменения фрагментов графики и звука, в первую очередь XWE, SLADE, Wintex и SLumpEd. Такие вещи, как монстры и предметы, и поведение оружия также можно до некоторой степени изменить с помощью исполняемой утилиты исправления DeHackEd . В ZDoom пользователи могут создавать новых монстров, оружие и предметы с помощью языка сценариев под названием DECORATE, предназначенного для устранения многих недостатков DeHackEd, таких как невозможность добавлять новые объекты и невозможность далеко отклоняться от поведения. оригинального оружия и монстров.

Утилиту Slige можно использовать для автоматической генерации случайных уровней. Однако у Slige был громоздкий подход к созданию карт, и с тех пор был создан новый инструмент под названием Oblige. Этот инструмент полностью написан на Lua .

Типы WAD

Уровни и пакеты уровней

Самый распространенный тип WAD состоит из одного уровня , обычно сохраняющего тему оригинальной игры, но, возможно, включающий новую музыку и некоторую измененную графику, чтобы определить более отличительную настройку или настроение. Оба одного игрока и Deathmatch многопользовательских уровней являются общими.

Также распространены WAD, которые содержат несколько уровней, иногда в форме эпизода , заменяющего девять уровней, а иногда в виде мегавада , который заменяет 15 или более уровней в игре (27 в Doom , 32 в Doom II , 36 в The Ultimate Doom ).

Мегавады часто представляют собой работу нескольких человек в течение нескольких месяцев или лет.

Всего конверсий

WAD, который вносит в игру капитальный ремонт и включает в себя совершенно другой сеттинг , набор персонажей и сюжет, вместо того, чтобы просто предоставлять новые уровни или графические изменения, называется полным преобразованием . Фраза была придумана Джастином Фишером как часть названия Aliens TC или Aliens Total Conversion . Надстройки, которые предоставляют обширные изменения в аналогичной степени, но сохраняют отличительные части или характеристики оригинальных игр, такие как персонажи или оружие, часто по расширению называются частичными преобразованиями .

Console versions[edit]

Compression[edit]

The Atari Jaguar port introduced a form of LZSS compression for lumps. If the first character of the name has the 0x80 flag set then it is considered to be compressed. The compressed size of the lump is not stored as the compressed stream has a terminating sequence. It should not be assumed that the compressed data is smaller than the uncompressed size since compression is required for some lumps in the console ports. (Likewise some lumps are required to be uncompressed in order to be read directly from cartridge ROM.)

The stream has a 12-bit sliding window. The format of the compressed stream is a flag byte followed by 8 chunks. The size of a chunk is determined by the flag byte in least significant bit first order. If the bit is not set then it is a uncompressed byte, otherwise it is a 16-bit offset length pair. The first byte of the pair is the upper 8-bits of the offset. The upper 4-bits of the second byte is the lower 4-bits of the offset. The remaining 4 bits are the length to copy. The offset is from the current output position (or from the end of the sliding window) and may overlap. Length is incremented by 1 so it becomes some value 1-16. If length is 1 then it is the end of the stream.

In order to know in advance how much information to read from the compressed lump, console versions of Doom which utilize this compression algorithm take the difference between the offset of the target lump and the next lump in the WAD directory. As a result, all such WAD files are terminated with an empty ENDOFWAD lump which marks the end of the directory, and has an offset equal to the end of the previous lump. This avoids undefined behavior if the last lump in the directory happens to be compressed.

Name[edit]

Before the expansion’s release and before the name The Ultimate Doom was chosen, the game was referred to as The Definitive Doom Special Edition. References to the original name can be found in the source code and in the DOS installer of the game, which features the shortened name DOOM: Special Edition on the titlebar and suggests DOOM_SE as the default installation directory.

In the 2015 Doom source data release, an early version of the Ultimate Doom executable is included in the DoomMapsSE folder of the doom-maps.zip file. When run, its startup displays the title «DOOM System Startup 1.9 Special Edition» in black characters on a cyan background, instead of «The Ultimate DOOM Startup v1.9» in dark gray on light gray background.
